hey! it happens that I am in egypt these days (luck !)
internet is almost back (but not for online gaming I believe)
I never thought that such cut would affect half of the globe…
that might trigger an idea to the bad guys so they cut internet .. life without elec. is hard and so is life without internet.

hope that companies now think of some kind of backup or use wireless tech.

That’s a THIRD one been cut, and the news stations still haven’t told us what happened to the first two!

It’s the nazi American authorities that are installing monitor equipment.

Another expat in India; connection is irritatingly slow today in office; same at home; can’t even open Rapidshare. By the way, using Airtel as home/office voice/data service carrier.

i live saudiarabia.

yesterday the internet connection speed went heavily down after been stable for more than 6 month .

the problem still here , i dont know why the net speed went down .

does the cable cut issue has an effect on the area where i live ?
